title: [Exudative pleurisy in infectious mononucleosis (author's transl)].
abstract: Three cases of infectious mononucleosis with concomitant exudative pleurisy are reported. In two of the patients atypical lymphocytes were detected in the pleural punctate. The effusion was sterile in all three cases. Involvement of the pleura in the general lymphoproliferative process in infectious mononucleosis is discussed as a pathogenetic mechanism.
